MSHA is particularly interested in
comments that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
A copy of the proposed information
collection request can be obtained by

III. Current Actions
MSHA proposes to continue the
information collection requirement
related to escape and evacuation plans
for surface coal mines and surface work
areas of underground coal mines for an
additional 3 years. MSHA believes that
eliminating these requirements would
expose miners to unnecessary risk of
injury or death should a fire occur at or
near their work location.

SUMMARY:
18:02 Jul 24, 2006
I. Background
Title 30, CFR 57.22204, which is
applicable only to specific underground
mines that are categorized as gassy
requires main fans to have pressurerecording systems. Main fans are to be
inspected daily while operating if
persons are underground, and
certification of the inspection is to be
made by signature and date. When
accumulations of explosive gases such
as methane are not swept from the mine
by the main fans, they may reasonably
be expected to contact an ignition
source. The results are usually
disastrous and multiple fatalities may be
expected to occur. The main fan
requirements of this standard are
significantly more stringent than those
imposed on non-gassy mines.
